EP3 - Terraforming the Australian Desert with Stable Diffusion on Stability.ai

A big catch up on AI news from the past 2 weeks. Stabile Diffusion spreads into Blender 3D with "DreamTexture", and onto Mac M1 chips via "DiffusionBee", while perfect deepfakes get closer with "DreamBooth". We take some tangents talking about a post copyright world, Kernkraft 400, Men at Work and the Kookaburra song, then premier our next big idea:  The "Intermediate Task Generator" https://riku.ai/share-link/the-intermediate-task-generator-v10-02057 you will need this password GNHPWSNMAP Give it a try and let us know the results via the Nascent Clouds facebook group!

This week I (Danny Cisco) talk again to Nuwan Rohitha (Neuroblossom) about this weeks latest Stable Diffusion integrations, more thoughts on the benefits of open source software and grass roots organisations. Plus some absurd solutions to sticky deep fake situations... on second thought maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all...

Our first interview! We talk to professional music video producer SPOD about his latest experiments with producing amazing music videos with MidJourney and Disco Diffusion. And of course the philosophical thoughts that come along with it.

This week I (Danny Cisco) talk to Nuwan Rohitha (Neuroblossom) about everything from an AI that learns from YouTube, to what if your AI doctor was also your AI naturopath, but also your AI mechanic? Plus, if I don't have feelings for my Replika (AI girlfriend simulation), then why can't I just delete her?

This week Nuwan (Neuroblossom) talks about using the open source text to image A.I. Stable Diffusion, to flesh out a dream of terraforming the Australian desert fringe in so much detail that it feels like the project already exists. Also, what's the difference between A.I. hype and NFT hype? And Danny speculates more about music A.I. tools that surely must be on the horizon.

Proudly presenting episode 2 of the Nascent Clouds podcast! This week I (Danny Cisco) return to my discussions with Nuwan (Neuroblossom). We ponder could AI become a real life Dr Dolittle? Are robot bosses a good idea? Could AI actually be the opposite of an atomic bomb? Will rating images in MidJourney lead to homogenised results? And can AI teach us to relax our ego while being creative, and perhaps become better communicators with our fellow humans... and animals, don't forget talking with the animals...  Intro/outro music "Current Affair" ©2020 The Person

This is the first episode, where I (Danny Cisco) talk with my friend and fellow A.I. artist and enthusiast Nuwan (Neuroblossom) about our initial thoughts and experiences when engaging with text to Image A.I. through tools such as DALL-E, MidJourney, Vogan+Clip and GPT-3. Particularly how it starts to affect the way you think, imagine and even how you dream. Intro/outro music "Current Affair" ©2020 The Person
